Should we mourn the end of blogs?

Mel Campbell has written an interesting piece on the mutation of the blog into an entity that bears little resemblance to the personal blogs of the past.

"Blogging persists, of course. But it’s mostly for adults – professionalised to the point where the old "bloggers vs journalists" debates now seem hopelessly quaint. Maintaining a personal blog has becomeentrepreneurial: a job that earns an income through display advertising, network marketing, ebooks and blog-to-book deals."

  1. Hmm, interesting perspective. I always called something that wasn't mainly personal posts, a website, rather than a blog.
